    Just depends how bitter Whyte is with Hearn's side. Technically, he doesn't need Hearn for this fight. He can just fight on a PBC card for this fight.

    Little to no chance with how much Whyte makes/wants per fight, but how great would it be to get this fight on the Wilder/Fury UC????

      I don’t know but I think you got more chance of getting shît out of a rocking horse than that happening. But my guess would be between 700k-1mil.

        DAZN, it will go to purse bids and its not a big fight in the States so there is only so far either Hearn or Haymon will be willing to go and i think Hearn may just be willing to go that little bit further.

          Neither (edit: well technically it could end up on DAZN due to the Hearn, Sky & DAZN agreement like previous Whyte Sky PPV's).

          It'll be a Sky PPV.

          And if somehow there is a bidding war & the PBC side wins it won't be on Showtime either. Whyte is maybe the 2nd biggest draw in the UK right now. He's for sure the 2nd guy in PPV buys thats active in the UK. So if a PBC affiliated promoter wins the purse bid you'd put the fight on ITV PPV.

          Putting this fight on in the US would be ******ed.

            US PPV if Wilder wins the rematch. Sky if Fury wins the rematch. Thats what I suspect anyway.

            Wilder vs Breazeale might be PPV, Fox or Showtime.

            Fury vs Breazeale could be ITV PPV. Is there a BT PPV or w/e that other channel is called that I believe Frankie W f#cks with? Could be BT or BT PPV if there is such a thing.

                Whyte isn't bitter at all towards Hearn. How many times does he need to say that before you fellas will believe him?

                  If its PPV in the UK, does that means any US promoter (including ESPN/TR) could bid on it? I expect SHO due to both of their history on SHO/FOX, but this wont be a US PPV so I don't care, just glad to see it happening

                    But Whyte/Wilder could go to purse bid and if Whyte continues his relationship with Eddie, that's where it gets interesting.

                    Wilder isn't fighting on non-PPVs the rest of his career if he beats Fury in the rematch. So a fight vs Breazeale/Whyte/Ortiz/Joyce/etc would be on PPV.

                    There is PPV for BT Sports. That's where the first Wilder/Fury fight took place on.

                      Maybe he's not, but he sure doesn't agree with Hearn's comments on what Whyte's actual worth is. Btw, Hearn is right in this case but he created a monster in Whyte who thinks he's legitimately Joshua level.

                      But point stands, Whyte doesn't need Hearn for this fight against Breazeale.
